The two of them were so busy that they had to face each other.

"No, it's not them."

Gray wanted to ask, but seeing Conan's sure look, he stopped asking.

"Then... let's go and hear who came here today."

Conan walked in again.

…………

Officer Yokomizo in the house looked at Mrs. Hirota and said, "Did you go to the town meeting held in the town tonight?"

Mrs. Hirota replied, "Yes, I went with the ladies from the neighborhood. It lasted from 8pm to 11pm, 3 hours."

Officer Yokomizo continued, "Then you should not have seen the person who came to see the professor today."

Mrs. Hirota retorted, "No, I saw the first person who came."

Then she held her chin and recalled, "When we were about to leave, my husband said it was his student, and his last name seemed to be Hosoya..."

Officer Yokomizo immediately instructed the detective next to him, "Okay, find the student of Professor Hirota who is named Hosoya."

"Okay," the police officer said, and ran out immediately.

After the police officer left, Officer Yokomizo looked at Mrs. Hirota again, "Besides that, do you know the names of other visitors?"

Mrs. Hirota continued to recall, "Except for Mr. Agasa who called before he left, my husband only said that two or three students were coming."

After hearing this, Officer Yokomizo thought for a while and murmured, "It seems that we can only check the professor's students one by one?"

"This phone seems to be still on. You can check who called and maybe find out something."

Conan said, squatting next to the phone.

Officer Yokomizo turned around and saw Conan again. He nodded in confusion, "Yeah, that's true."

He turned the phone over and pressed a button. The answering machine rang, "[A total of 13 calls]"

Hearing this number, Officer Yokomizo was surprised and said, "13 calls, there are so many messages!!"

From the time Dr. Agasa called to the discovery of the body, which was about 3 hours, there were 13 calls, which is really suspicious...

The answering machine rang,

"[Beep-Hello, this is Shirakura, Mr. Hirota, we agreed to be here tonight, right?]"

"Who is this Shirakura?" Officer Yokomizo turned around and asked Mrs. Hirota.

"I know this Shirakura, he is my husband's student, quite young." Mrs. Hirota replied.

"[Beep-I am Morioka, what time are you going there tonight?]"

"Who is this?" Officer Yokomizo asked again.

"I know this one too. I heard that he is my husband's earliest student and often comes to our house to play." Mrs. Hirota replied again.

"Then do you know the address of Shirakura and Morioka?"

Mrs. Hirota just nodded, and a young and handsome man came in from outside the door.

"I am Shirakura. May I ask what happened?"

Officer Yokomizo looked cautious and replied: "I don't know who killed Professor Hirota today."

Shirakura was shocked after hearing this, "What!!"

As soon as the voice fell, the phone recording continued to ring.

"【Beep-Hello, this is Shirakura. I have something to do tomorrow, so I'll go to your place now.】"

Officer Yokomizo looked at Shirakura after hearing this, and said slowly: "Mr. Shirakura made 10 calls and Mr. Morioka made 2 calls. Don't you think you made too many calls?"

Indeed...

And why the recording was intermittent in the middle also made me very concerned...

Conan held his chin to listen to Shirakura's answer.

Shirakura was anxious and said quickly, "Because no one answered my phone calls, I had to come here directly."

After hearing this, Officer Yokomizo slowly turned around, muttered "Okay then", and ignored Shirakura.

The phone recording sounded again.

"Now it's the 13th call." Officer Yokomizo said softly.

"【I'm from the insurance company. I want to explain to you about our company's new insurance. Can you please take some time and I'll call again.】"

"It's an insurance salesman..." Officer Yokomizo muttered again.

"Vodka." Huihara's voice whispered in Conan's ear.

"Ah, indeed, although the voice has been changed a little by the machine, the tone of the voice should be his."

Conan said casually, as if Vodka was a small person who didn't need to be worried about at all.

Seeing Conan like this, Huihara couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

She spoke again: "Maybe they

They are nearby. "

Conan looked at Huiyuan next to him, "Are you scared?"

Huiyuan turned her head away and did not answer.

Conan said slowly again: "Don't worry, even if they are nearby, I will protect you."

Huiyuan's face obviously changed, but it changed back in an instant, but this moment was captured by Conan.

Huiyuan looked at Conan and smiled and teased: "Is it really okay for you to save me like this? The poison you took was invented by me, which means that I am the one who made you smaller. "

"So what? "

Ah???

Conan's indifferent look made Haibara confused. How could a normal person not be hostile to the person who almost killed him?

This detective is really strange...

Seeing that Haibara didn't answer, Conan didn't say anything else...

At this time, he laughed in his heart.

Ai is probably confused now.

………………

Not long after, a middle-aged man with glasses and a fat man with a dark complexion came to the door.

It was Morioka Michio and Hosoya Kazuhiro.

Inspector Yokomizo summoned them just now.

"What? Professor Hirota was killed? !"

"When I came just now, he was still fine!"

The two of them looked incredulous when they saw this scene.

"I remember that it was you who met Mrs. Hirota when you came here to visit, right, Mr. Hosoya? ”

Hosoya Kazuhiro said in a panic: "Yes, because my daughter is going to apply for Nanyang University, so I came to ask Professor Hirota to write a recommendation letter, but I saw that the teacher drank a lot of wine, so I went back first."

Officer Yokomizo turned his eyes to Mrs. Hirota, "Did the professor really drink today?"

Mrs. Hirota replied: "Yes, he drank this evening."

"What about you, Mr. Morioka? The message on the answering machine mentioned that you were going to meet him."

"Yes, I came to play chess with him, because the professor and I are chess friends, and he invited me tonight."

Michioka pointed to the chess pieces scattered in the room and said: "Look, there are chess pieces on the floor. We usually play chess in this room, but because we didn't agree on a time, I called twice."

"But the phone has been in answering machine mode. Since he made an appointment with me, but didn't answer me, I thought about coming to see. "

Officer Yokomizo suddenly asked: "So, you were here today?"

Michioka remained calm and said: "Yes, I was here. It was around 9:30. The door was not locked, so I came in. But when I came to the study, I knocked on the door and no one answered. The door was also locked, so I went back."

"I see. Then, an hour and a half later, Mr. Agasa came and found something strange. He broke in and found the body."

"That's right," Dr. Agasa nodded.
